Rudy's Landscaping | Experienced Landscapers in Chicago, IL

Common signs in our area include persistent puddles or soggy areas 24+ hours after rain, water pooling near your foundation, soil erosion in garden beds, and mold or mildew on siding or fences. Chicago's clay-heavy soil can exacerbate these issues. Our team can assess your yard's grading and drainage to implement a long-term solution.

Signs of a leak include unusually high water bills, constantly soggy patches in your lawn when the system is off, low water pressure at the sprinkler heads, or the sound of running water from a meter when all water is off. We recommend a professional inspection, as leaks are often underground. Rudy's can perform a pressure test and locate the leak for a precise, efficient repair.

We tailor solutions to your property's specific needs. Common fixes include regrading the lawn to direct water away from the house, installing French drains or catch basins to collect and redirect water, and creating dry creek beds or swales. For homes with compacted clay soil, aeration and amendments may also be part of the plan to improve absorption.
